Isomorphism and equivariance of the Whittaker-space embedding

Let OXQ,n\mathcal{O}\subset\mathscr{X}_{Q,n} be a WW-orbit, let I(χ)I(\chi) be the relevant principal-series representation, and let Whψ(I(χ))O\operatorname{Wh}_\psi(I(\chi))_\mathcal{O} and Whψ(I(χ))O\operatorname{Wh}_\psi(I(\chi))_\mathcal{O}^{\sharp} denote the corresponding Whittaker subspaces. Let T(w,χ)T(w,\chi) and T(w,χ)T(w,\chi)^{\sharp} be the homomorphisms induced by the intertwining operator T(w,χ)T(w,\chi), and let ι(χ)ψ,O\iota(\chi)_{\psi,\mathcal{O}} be the natural embedding.

Whittaker-space isomorphism conjecture. For every WW-orbit OXQ,n\mathcal{O}\subset\mathscr{X}_{Q,n}, the embedding is an isomorphism

ι(χ)ψ,O:Whψ(I(χ))OWhψ(I(χ))O.\iota(\chi)_{\psi,\mathcal{O}}:\operatorname{Wh}_\psi(I(\chi))_\mathcal{O}\simeq\operatorname{Wh}_\psi(I(\chi))_\mathcal{O}^{\sharp}.

Moreover, it is equivariant in the sense that

ι(wχ)ψ,OT(w,χ)ψ,O=T(w,χ)ψ,Oι(χ)ψ,O.\iota({}^w\chi)_{\psi,\mathcal{O}}\circ T(w,\chi)_{\psi,\mathcal{O}}=T(w,\chi)_{\psi,\mathcal{O}}^{\sharp}\circ\iota(\chi)_{\psi,\mathcal{O}}.

This identifies the two descriptions of the relevant Whittaker spaces and makes them compatible with intertwining operators. The supplied text gives no resolution status beyond the assertion itself.
